  Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Monday morning, fifth day of August. I'm Wes, thanks for
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: joining me. Got a whole lot in the southeast, a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: lot of eyes on what's going on, Debbie, what's going
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: on there? I don't typically talk a lot about weather
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: on the show because I know that not all of
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: you listen to this the day of those of you
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: that do. Thank you. Those of you that have this
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: set up to automatically download on whatever device, thank you
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: even more. That's great, that's helpful. By all means. After
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you've downloaded them and listen to them, feel free to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: delete them. That's fine, that's perfect. You don't have to
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: keep them forever. I wouldn't expect that of you. But
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: because of the timing of the shows and the way
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: that all works out, I don't typically talk a lot
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: about weather. But here in this beginning of August phase
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: of the year, at this fifth day of August, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we're we got a lot going on in our lives
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: as we're working towards getting kids back into school. Some
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: started back last week in our area. And I know
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I've got listeners that aren't I do this show out
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of the chattoo Chee Valley area in Georgia, which encompasses
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: parts of Alabama and you know, well on over into
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Central Georgia. But this area at least is getting kids
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: back to school. Those of you that are in other
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: parts of the country, your kids maybe we're at school
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: a little bit later into the summer or in the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: beginning of the summer. I guess it's technically the spring,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and your kids aren't going back just yet, but they're
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: going soon. But we're all in that phase here in
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the Southeast. We're in that we're in that window of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: time where if we're not put letting our kids back
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: to school this week, it's happening very soon, and we're
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: doing something this week that involves going to the school
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: or buying school supplies or something. We're doing all sorts
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: of things this week. So it's important to be aware
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: of what's going on weather wise for this week because
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: we got a few things that are going on and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it could affect you know, even in our area at
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: last check, anyway, the weather could affect things in our
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: area as far as school for those in the Muscogee
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: County schools and any schools that are on schedule with
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Muscogee County starting back on Thursday and Friday. There is potential.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: You know, they've got things that basically if the weather,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: if the wind is so much as the weather is related,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: then they you know, they maybe they can't drive the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: school buses. It's a lot. They're just keeping an eye
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: on it. I'm not again, this isn't going to be
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a weather based show. That's not what we're going to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: talk about. We got other things to talk about today,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and I'm just mentioning that because it's something that we
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: should all be tracking and keeping an eye on. So
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: it's official now, as Kamala Harris has now obtained the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: delegates needed, the nomination happened so that she is now
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: ready to at the convention. Except the nomination for President
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of the United States by the Democrat Party and not
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a single vote cast. It's so weird. It's so weird.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Nobody had a chance to vote for her in the primary.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: There was none, no opportunity this day. There were opportunities
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: for I guess which she ran before four years ago,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and even then she had almost no support, negligible support.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: She got out of the race before anybody got a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: chance to vote for. She entered the race when it
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: was too late for anybody to vote for. The party
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that has screamed for months that Donald Trump would bring
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: about the end of democracy has figured out a way
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to take the democratic part of this process away from voters.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Will bypass it. We won't vet the candidate, we won't
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: make the candidate answer any questions. We're just going to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: hand the nomination to her, and you're going to like it. Democrats,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and a lot of them do. They're not even questioning it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: There's zero questions from some of them. Some of them
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: are certainly upset. I know many that are going to
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: vote for RFK Junior. Good for you. At least there's
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: been some sort of vetting process. I know a lot
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of folks on both sides think the guy's crazy. But
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: at least he's been out there making his case. He's
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: he's swinging his swing and you can make a decision
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: about him. With Kamala Harris, you know, it's she's not
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: really facing any questions. She's not doing interviews, she's not
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: being challenged on her record face to face. The original
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: plan for the debate, Trump is asked to make some
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: changes to it for a couple of reasons, and of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: course that's turned into a little bit of a show,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you know, one of those shows. You know there's a
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: word that comes before it, as Harris says, Oh, we'll
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: do it on the date that we said, you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that's the If you don't show up, then we'll just
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: do the debate without you. I don't think that's going
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to happen. I don't think. I don't think anybody's really
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: going to challenge her. You're not going to have moderators
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: that are going to challenge her because the moderator for
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: this I guess ABC event with George Stephanofolis and you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Trump is one of his issues there is like we
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: we have an ongoing court thing that involves him. It's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: not really a fair process if we involve him in
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: this debate anyway. So nobody got a chance to vote
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: for her, and they'll get their first chance to cast
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: votes for her in November. But the delegate thresholds has
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: been promised. However that's gonna work, And she said I'm
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: honored to be the presumptive Democratic nomic need for president
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: of the United States and is going to accept it
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: officially this week and then looking forward to the convention
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: that begins on August nineteenth, And I mentioned a Thursday.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I guess that the current president, they'll honor him at
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the beginning. He's gonna speak at the beginning, and then
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: they're just gonna, you know, sweep him aside. They're gonna
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: they're gonna throw him out with the papers in the trash.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: That's what they're gonna They're just gonna be done with him,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna say, oh, man, what a great guy
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: he was looking out for America. At the time of recording,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: we don't know who the VP pick is. There's a
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: lot of questions about, you know, which, which potential VP
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: pick you know is there? You know, odds makers, I
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: guess are saying Shapiro. And by the time you hear this,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: it may have already been decided. It may have already
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: been decided as I'm recording. It may have been decided yesterday.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know. There was a leak from a message
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: that came out the Philadelphia Mayor's office, an x A
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: tweet whatever it's called. I went out by someone who said,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: you know, excited about working with Governor Shapiro, and you
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: just say, is that even like, what what are we
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: doing now? What probably happened is they were, you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: composing messages that you know they would have ready to
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: go so that they could send them out. That's my guess.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Having worked in the media, I can tell you that
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: sometimes you work on those things and then you pray
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that you didn't accidentally send one out before it was
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: decided or announced. You don't be the well, you don't
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: want to be the one that made the call to
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you know, accidentally posted and put it out there and
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: then go oops. So there's h It looks like it's
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: going to be Shapiro at this point. As I said
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and have said for a little while, he is the
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: one that gives them a chance for her to get
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: enough delegates, if if he can deliver the state of Pennsylvania,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and if it doesn't cause a complete fracture in the
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: party based on the fact that he's Jewish, And that's
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a possibility, that's a real possibility. Because we know what
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: happened during graduation season just a few months ago. We
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: know what continues to go on in the Middle East.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: We know that things are flaring up and they are
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: getting more and more heated. So there's also, you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: this whole rumor that Barack Obama had decided that you know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the pick was going to be or he wanted the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: pick to be Mark Kelly, and Mark Kelly, I guess
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: is apparently one of the three that were being interviewed
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: yesterday and still in contention for it. So I don't know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: we'll see what finally gets decided. If it hasn't by
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the time you hear this, it may be decided. They
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: have an appearance scheduled for tomorrow evening at a rally
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: somewhere in Pennsylvania that may be tipping the hand. I
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: know they want to pretend like it hasn't been decided
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and all that. But you know, a couple things I
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: want to talk about too about the Olympics. No doubt
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: you have heard all of the talk about the boxers.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: There's two of the women's boxers that have were tested
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: in the past, I guess a year ago, and they
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: had y chromosomes which would effectively make them a man.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: But there's some questions also about maybe they were born
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: and they could be you know, at one time, and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I don't know what the current term is
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: for what the politically correct term for someone who was
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: born with tendencies of both genders. And I know what
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: the word used to be. I don't know if that's
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the word you use anymore. At one time that was
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a medical term. That was a word that was used,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: But there's several medical terms that we don't use anymore now.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: There are some questions about whether or not these two
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: women as they live now, were perhaps born, you know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: with what was once referred to as that other term.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the right word anymore. And
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say a word that is considered offensive,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: even though it's a medical word. There are medical words
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: that we should just be able to say. And I
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: believe it's a medical word. It starts with H, right,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: that ends with you know, the a diet at the end, right,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: you know the word I'm talking. I don't know. I
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: don't know if that word is that word okay. I
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know what's the okay word. But
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: there have been people saying that that was the case,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: that's what was going on, and these were people that
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: were born and at the point of birth they could
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: have made the call one way or the other and
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: they made the call to say women girls. And then
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: they've grown up and they've maybe got some y chromosomes
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: and you know, they're just smacking women around in the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: boxing ring and it's now a thing in the Olympics.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: We knew this was coming. I guess it happened before
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: this happened what four years ago or the last Olympics.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I know that there was delays in all of this
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: because of COVID, So it hasn't been four years. But
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: whatever the last one was, it wasn't four years ago,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: was it? What was the what was the year that
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: they had the Olympics last? But anyway, we had a
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: weightlifter that was a transgender. It was, you know, a
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: man that was now living as a woman and had
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you know, transitioned into womanhood and was lifting weights. Didn't
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: do well, I think disqualified or you know, I don't know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I don't follow weightlifting, but didn't do well, didn't do
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: what people thought. So it came up before and it's
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: obviously been something that's been questioned before. We know that
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: this is something We knew, this was a matter of
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: time that this was going to be an issue, But
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: here it is, and this is someone who you know
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: while boxing. You know, the Italian boxer who was facing
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: one of these two women, she said, you know, she
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: was hit so hard after like two three punches and
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: just took a knee and was like this, I can't
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: do this. And we know that there could certainly be
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a danger there. We know that this is something that
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: could be, you know, very dangerous. Twenty twenty two. By
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: the way, I had to check because I was trying
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: to remember when the last Olympics. I knew it wasn't
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: but China was just two years ago, the last Summer Olympics,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I should say. Anyway, so a lot of people have
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: have sounded off. You know, people have a need to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: jump on social media and tell everybody what they think
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: about everything. They have to make sure they sound off
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: and let them know. I don't know enough about these women.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Probably all I know is that at some point they
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: were disqualified from some boxing competitions over these y chromosomes.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it happened. I don't know how
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that happens. I would assume that if they were in
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: fact born with an ambiguous gender about them, then you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: maybe someone made a decision and that they've been living
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: that way. But I don't know anything about their lives.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about their lives from five years ago,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: ten years ago. I don't know how they were living
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: their life. I don't know. But the argument from folks
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: on the left is, wow, these are women. We know
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: that they're women. What are you talking about? They're one
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: hundred percent women, so much so that they've made the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Italian boxer, I guess, apologize for being upset and saying
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: this wasn't a fair match. It's not fair that I
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: had to stand in a ring and be punched by
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: someone who's a man and hit harder than I've ever
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: been hit in my life. And this has come up
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: once before. Wasn't there a volleyball match where there was
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: a boy man living as a woman who was playing
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I think volleyball and spiked a ball and hit so
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: hard a woman in a girl in the face and
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: it calls like partial paralysis and ended her chance at
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a scholarship and possibly going on to play volleyball like
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: this has happened before, and boxing is in hot a
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: sport where you want to give a significant advantage. You
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: could sit there and say, oh, well you put him
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: out on a tennis court. No, that one doesn't hold
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: up because remember the guy who was ranked like number
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: two hundred in the world beat both William's sisters early
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: in their career soundly. I think they combined one one
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: set against the guy or one game against the guy
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: is something. It wasn't much. It wasn't even really close.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: He dominated them, you know, ranked two hundred and something
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to ten, whatever it was. Don't hear a lot about
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: that story that that was in the Williams Sisters movie.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Was it in there? The story about their dad, you know,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the will Smith slapping movie. I don't know why that
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: story kind of got brushed aside, but it's a real story.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: It really happened. They were very early in their careers,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: but still they should have been. You know, Serena's looked
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: at as the goat of women's tennis. Some people say
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Serena Williams is the goat of all tennis. Sounds very American.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think there is a little bit of
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: an American bias to that. I don't think a sport
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: where you're gonna take two people and they're gonna you know, physically,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: you know, punch each other and say it's fair, this
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: is fair. We're gonna take some a someone who didn't
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: pass this gender test a year ago. And I don't
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: know how the gender test worked. What do they do?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they do. See, I'm open enough
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: to tell you that. I can't tell you that I'm
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: an expert on things that I don't know. I don't
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: know how they do the gender test. I don't know
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: what they do. I can imagine some ways that they
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: do it. I don't think the ways that I imagine
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: it are true, you know. But they're gonna do what
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: they're gonna do in these Olympic Games and future Olympic Games.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: That is what happens, and it's what continues to happen, right,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's just kind of the way it all happens.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: They just do their thing. They're the Olympics, right. The
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Olympics does whatever it wants to do, and there's nothing
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: anybody can really do about it, is there the I'm
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: want to make sure I got this right about the priests.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: So the no, the Winter Games were twenty twenty two.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: That was China, right, wasn't that the It was the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Winter Games? I want to make sure I've got this right. Yeah,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: that was the Winter Games, the previous Summer Games. Okay,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: that was Tokyo and that was Sorry, I'm not I'm
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: not a student of the Olympics. Yeah, they had them
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: in twenty one, but it was supposed to be twenty Okay,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: so that's there on schedule for that. They didn't have
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: to miss anything with the Winter Games. Sorry, I misspoke
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: on that. I want to correct that. I knew it.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I knew it hadn't been the real four years and
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: that was because of COVID. They weren't able to do
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: it in twenty twenty in Japan. So, and speaking of
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: the Olympics, sorry, And I don't. I don't have any solutions.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I don't have any conclusions on whatever has happened with
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the y chromosomed women boxing in the Olympics. I don't.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I don't have a conclusion. I don't. I don't know
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: enough about it. I know it's not fair to some degree,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: but I don't know enough about their birth origin story.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Speaking of the Olympics, in next Summer Games, all right,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: so let's get this clear, because I screwed up the
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: dates as far as the year. But so the next
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Winter Games will be in UH in Italy, and then
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: and then and that's in two years, and then two
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: years after that is when it comes back to the
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: US the Summer Games in La UH. And interestingly enough,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the last time that we hosted the Olympics uh here
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: and here, you know, being in in the US, but
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: also in the state of Georgia. Four years later they
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: were in Australia. And this time it'll be in the
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: US in LA and then four years later in Brisbane.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Brisbane and Great Town have been there many times. I
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: love Brisbane, love the Brisbane Airport, love the Brisbane Airport
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: a lot. But it's some of my favorite food in Brisbane.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I can give those Olympians some suggestions when they head
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: down there in eight years. But they've already apparently filmed
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: some of the transitional the handoff, if you will, because
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: if they, you know, they'll get to the end of
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: these Olympics and then the ceremony will close and they
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: always do some nod to you know, the next country
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: that's hosting it. And it apparently they have already filmed
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: some things for that and involved Tom Cruise. Since it's
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: gonna be LA, it's gonna be Hollywood. This will be
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: a you know, it's be a big deal. You know,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: LA hosting the games, and I guess Tom Cruise, I
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: don't know, he jumps out of an airplane and he's
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: got the Olympic flag or whatever. I don't know they
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: filmed something that involved Tom Cruise or a stunt double
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: jumping out of an airplane. That's all I can tell you.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know any more than that, but I guess
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: he will be at this point considered. Now, why didn't
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: they get Snoop Dogg. I'll be honest with you, I
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: got nothing against Snoop Dogg. I don't understand why he's
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: become the like he gets more attention in these Olympic
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Games than most of the athletes. It's like Simone Biles
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and then Snoop Dogg. You know, I think Snoop is
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: getting more attention than the basketball team, the NBA players
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: that are playing anyway. So that's where that's where things
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: apparently are going to go when they close out the
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: games to a Tom Cruise look alike or Tom Cruise
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: himself jumping out of an airplane. Today's show brought to
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center

  Speaker 2: they do it for school age kids as school age
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: also do it through their university programs where you can
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: STEM fields are booming right now. And you can learn
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: more about maybe getting your degree on their web site
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: they do with the schwob School of Music from Columbus
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: this is a major city attraction that happens right here
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
• 22:39

• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also

• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: an issue that you've got with colder, warmer weather, sometimes
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five hundred,

  Speaker 2: you can learn the science behind the fiction at the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Coca Cola Space Science Center. I'll be announcing guests soon.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I think I know who some of the guests are,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: but I know who one of the guests is, and
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I know who my cosplayer guest is likely going to be.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: But until I've actually got the interviews in the can,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: as they say, I don't like to jump ahead just
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: in case things change, But excited about the interviews and
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: always looking forward to attending and covering the convention for you.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about pumpkin spice lattes. I know we're just
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: five days almost five days really in to the month
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: of August. But apparently Starbucks is already plotting the return
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: of the pumpkin spice lattes, and I guess it seems
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: that Starbucks is planning to reintroduce them this year on
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: August twenty second, just two days before the pregame show.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: They'll have a Pumpkin Cream cold brew and iced pumpkin
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: cream Chai an iced Apple crisp cream Chai, oat milk
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: iced Apple Crisp shaken espresso and oat milk Apple Crisp machiato.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: That's all the things that are coming, I guess on
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: August twenty second, So get ready, it'll just befall just
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: immediately as of August the twenty second. I'm excited about
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: cooler weather, I really am. But you know that's I
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: don't I don't do the I don't do the high
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: end coffees. And I realized it's not really the high
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: there's there's like hot there's real high end coffees. I
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: just I do coffee at my house. That's what I do,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: and I tend to go with coffee flavored coffee. Did
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: you start going for walks during the pandemic? For many
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: it seems that the habit stuck. A new survey found
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: sixty percent of American adults enjoy a good walk, whether
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: for fun or exercise. Women tend to walk a bit
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: more than men, and younger folks hit the pavement a
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: bit more than older ones. Interestingly, people with higher incomes
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: and education levels are also more likely to take a walk.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: On the flip side, about sixteen percent of adults walk
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: for transportation, especially those with lower income, So the survey
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: was all about walking, all right. We hear a lot
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: about loneliness. We hear a lot about concerns about whether
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: it's depression or just people feeling lonely, And despite all
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: those reports, it seems friendships in the US are alive
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: and well. A new study found that the average American
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: adult has about four to five friends, which is pretty
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: much the same as it's been over the past few decades,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: and only two percent say they don't have any friends
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: at all. With that said, many people wish they could
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: spend more time with their friends or have deeper connections
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: with them. The survey found that while seventy five percent
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: are happy with the number of friends they have, forty
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: two percent said they aren't as close to the friends
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: as they'd like to be. So they say, always room
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: for a little more quality time with your friends. And
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: that's the important part, right is making sure that you
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: find that time for your friends. Some big news not
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: going over well for people who like bacon and hot
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: dogs falls into that category of surveys that we just trash.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to read it because I want
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: to give you the information. But at this point, there's
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: going to be studies that say that bacon and hot
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: dogs are good and fine, you can eat them, and
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: there's good studies that say that they're not. Their studies
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: that say coffee bad, their studies that say coffee good.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I tend to, you know, favor the ones that say
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: what I want them to say, and in this case,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hear anything bad about bacon especially.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: But new research presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: in Philadelphia shows a direct link between processed red meat
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and an increased risk of dementia. OH The study of
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: more than one hundred and thirty thousand adults found that
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: those who ate at least two servings per week processed
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: meat like bacon, hot dogs, bologney had a fortin that's
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: the meat. I'm not saying bolooney. To the study, I
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: had a fourteen percent higher risk of developing dementia. Researchers
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: also found that eating more than two servings a week
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: contributed to an additional one point six years of cognitive aging.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Do they check ice cream? Scientists say replacing servings of
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: red meat with things like nuts or beans could lower
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: your risk of cognitive decline by as much as twenty percent.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
